Walkthrough

Alongside Superman, you venture to Luthor's Inner Sanctum defeating HIVE (Heroes) or ARGUS (Villains) Agents along the way. Midway you encounter HIVE Master (Heroes) or Steve Trevor (Villains) who is leading the charge in stealing Luthor's tech without even confirming Luthor's fate. You must defeat him to proceed.

If you played Titans: The Machine, then you know how HIVE Master works, especially his laser. Steve Trevor on the other hand, uses brawling combos and has a laser attack similar to HIVE Master's. The boss stands in place and poses if taking deep breaths, then fires a continuous laser while rotating clockwise slowly, causing the laser to sweep 360 degrees and deal massive damage if it touches you. When this occurs, stay relatively close to the boss while slowly going clockwise (like going through a revolving door); you may still be hit once in the beginning, but if you stay in place, the laser will likely hit you twice and KO you.

After the First Subboss, you proceed on. You find clues which add to the mystery of Lex's apparent death along the way.

Then you arrive at Luthor's Inner Sanctum with Superman arriving just in time.

Enter the Main Man, Lobo! He drops in to kill the bounty he was looking for: Lex Luthor. Since Lobo was too late, for the very first time, players battle him in Luthor's Inner Sanctum.

Lobo fights in a Dual Wield weapon style, and has the following special attacks:

• Frozen Grasp: Stuns and pulls in his target.
• Mangle: Lobo spins rapidly and flails his chain clockwise, continuously damaging and sweeping targets to the direction of the spin.
• Grenade Launcher: Although warned by Lethal attack icon, it does not deal a lot damage and is vulnerable to interrupt.
• Space Dolphins: A ranged attack.
• Spacehog: It will periodically appear in the two big holes in the wall and will either do a Flamethrower attack, or a machine gun trail attack that ignores shields and deals massive damage, making it his most dangerous move.

After Lobo is defeated, he retreats and an unknown teleporter is revealed. Superman suggests you go through it after it has been patched up, since he senses that Lois and Jimmy are in trouble. This is done by queuing for BoP: Volcano Mining Facility.

The teleporter would have an icon with a light green circle around it much like many other interactive objects in the game, except that its circle recedes extremely slowly. After waiting for about 30 minutes, it would have fully receded, allowing you to interact with it. You would receive the Volcano Hideout deed, which completes the Clock Watcher feat when collected. While waiting, you also could complete the Busy Work feat since the mobs at the beginning keep respawning after a while.

Trivia

• If Lobo is hit while the player is outside of the boss room, they will be briefly locked out before the fight resets, but afterwards Lobo becomes non-interactive and cannot be fought. This could be fixed by going back to previous mobs (some of which would respawn) and getting KO'ed, which allows Lobo to be fought again.
• Superman has a health bar in this instance, but his actions are not hindered and he cannot be KO'ed when his health drops to zero.
